John Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. Hiatt's songs were covered successfully by everyone from Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, and Dr. Feelgood to Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and the Neville Brothers, yet it took him 13 years to reach the charts himself. Of course, it nearly took him that long to find his own style. Hiatt began his solo career in 1974, and over the next decade he ran through a number of different styles from rock & roll to new wave pop before he finally settled on a rootsy fusion of rock & roll, country, blues, and folk with his 1987 album Bring the Family.

I’m A Real Man Lyrics
John Hiatt
Im a real man, I got a real guitar
Im a real man, dont even know where the boys are
I dont want to frighten you little girl, youre so sweet and nice
But I dont want to have to tell you twice
Im a real man, I want to rock like a real man
Dont get no shock from that
Elevator music in your computer program
Baby, howd you like to rock with a real man?
Yes Im a real man, baby, Im not lyin
Im thirty-one years old now and I still dont mind dyin
You can put the voodoo on me, girl
Theres nothing I cant dodge
Check out this lincoln in my garage
Kids, these days, Im talkin about these young folk
Theyre about as wild as pollyanna after she growed up
After a hard day at the casiotone they just dont want to live
Theyre about as dangerous as a junior executive
Im a real man, I want to rock like a real man
Dont get no shock from that
Elevator music in your computer program
Baby, howd you like to rock with a real man?
Every dollar I earn, girl, I let it all burn
And if I wind up in jail
Well theres only one of two thousand, seven hundred and sixty-two women that I know
Who would gladly pay my bail
Now you might say Im just some fool on a boast
But I wasnt gonna hear ya girl from coast to coast
This aint dan rather talkin, this aint the presidents son
But, ah, Im still gonna have my fun
Cause Im a real man, I got to rock like a real man
Dont get no shock from that
Elevator music in your computer program
Baby, howd you like to rock with a real man?
Turn off that elevator music, in your computer program
Baby, howd you like to rock with a real man
Turn off that elevator music, in your computer program
Come on and rock with a real man
